LONDON, United Kingdom — A report states a gay Catholic priest, who has incurred the wrath of the Vatican for his views supporting LGBT Catholics, not only says in a new book that he is non-celibate, he also reveals that he has been married to a man for the past 14 years, and has officiated over the weddings of many gay and lesbian Catholic couples.

Father Bernard J. Lynch

Father Bernard Lynch says the Vatican is trying to “get rid” of him, while he has been operating a counseling program for closeted gay priests in London since 1992.
